Details or Sample:
Selling your home yourself, without the aid of a real estate agent, is bad enough. However, selling your home through a real estate agent who doesn’t know your area is the worst mistake that you can ever commit when selling your home.

The Perils of Using a Non-Local Agent

When you hire an agent who doesn’t know your area, the following things are likely to happen:

Your non-local real estate agent lists your property in the wrong multiple listing system (MLS). A multiple listing system is a database used by real estate agents when looking for properties to offer their clients. Getting your home listed in the correct MLS is therefore crucial. A non-local agent, however, might not know the MLS in your area, so he/she makes do with listing your property in the MLS in his/her area. Thus, a San Francisco real estate agent might list your Long Beach home in a San Francisco MLS. This is a costly mistake. Real estate agents representing buyers who are interested in Long Beach properties are not likely to find your home if it’s on the wrong list!
